What Noodle Do You Use For Chicken Noodle Soup?
Traditional chicken noodle soups often use egg noodles. However, I personally prefer other types of noodles for flavor, texture and visual appeal.
For this recipe I wanted the best chicken noodle soup noodles, so I used linguine noodles.
These are just slightly larger than spaghetti noodles and give your soup such a lovely flavor and texture upgrade.
How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup More Flavorful
Using fresh herbs is an easy way to upgrade the flavor of your soup. So if you can find any fresh thyme at the store or in your garden, try using this instead of the dried thyme.
Same goes for the black pepper. Using fresh ground pepper is an easy way to enhance the flavors of this soup.

If I want to use wide egg noodles instead of pasta how much egg noodles should I add ?
This is a matter of taste. I use Mrs. Millers wide egg noodles BUT I cook them separately. They absorb so much liquid that adding them after your soup is done allows for a better measure. Frankly, I add more carrots, celery and chicken. A tip, if you add a half teaspoon of lemon juice YES LEMON JUICE, it adds to the flavor. You do not taste the lemon at all. It just kicks up the flavor. Another little trick. Add a small mixture of cornstarch and water, not enough to make it thick but just enough to make the broth heartier. Also use “no salt” or “low salt” broth or stock. Salt your soup at the end of cooking so you have more control.
This soup is fantastic! I halved it. But my kind of Flavor! Very good but it does need wide noodles
I’m so glad you loved it, Linda! It’s definitely one of my favorite soups, too! 🙂

Always love soup.This is a great way to add leftover veg’s. My son and I love chicken noodle soup.
My boys and I just love it too, Kim! And you’re right… it’s such a delicious way to use up those extra veggies. 🙂
Wow that looks super comforting and delicious! What a tasty dish to have especially since it’s becoming so cold!
Thanks, Christie! And I agree… this is definitely my favorite comfort food soup to serve all Winter long. 🙂
It was delicious!?!? But the next day all the noodles absorbed the broth. Is it not made for leftovers, or should I just add more broth? Also could I add chicken bouillon to it?
Yes, you can definitely add more broth the next day to your leftovers! 🙂
Do you cook the noodles beforehand or simply add them raw to the crockpot?
Hi Cheryl ~ no need to cook the noodles… you’ll add the uncooked noodles to the crockpot. Hope that helps!
I made this for supper tonight and the whole family loved it!! My husband said it was very delicious, and my son ate three or four bowls of it lol A keeper for sure! Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe ☺️
